L. M. Quinn welcomes you to her website
The Writingame. Please stop by often to check out the ups and downs of her life as a writer living and working in L.A.
Yes, being a writer in L.A. has its own perks and quirks. We have the best year-round weather in the world and complain if the temperature goes below sixty degrees, designer shades a given. Within one-two hours from downtown L.A., you can swim in the Pacific, bask in the Palm Springs desert heat, and ski Big Bear's slopes. All this (Santa Ana winds that turn people into werewolves and shake them senseless with periodic earthquakes included) makes for stellar writers and writing.

"She was trouble. She was tall and rangy and strong-looking. Her hair was black and wiry and parted in the middle. She had a good mouth and a good chin. There was a sulky droop to her lips and the lower lip was full." ― Raymond Chandler
“Chandler wrote like a slumming angel and invested the sun-blinded streets of Los Angeles with a romantic presence.” — Ross Macdonald |
L. M. Quinn works and lives in L.A. Fiction is her passion, but she's also delved into book reviews and travel writing.
In March 2009, her short story "A Not So Clear Case of Murder" was included in the anthology Hit List: The Best of Latino Mystery, and in 2011, her short story "The Red Lipstick" will be included in the YA anthology You Don't Have a Clue (both books from Arte Público Press). In 2011, she also had her personal essay ("A Grown-up") accepted in the anthology Our Spirit, Our Reality: Celebrating Our Stories. She is currently enrolled in UCLA's Writers' Program and working on mysteries set in L.A.
A member of Sisters in Crime, SCBWI, and WNBA, you'll also find her at Literary Orange, Left Coast Crime 2012, and the SCBWI Writer's Days conferences in 2012.
